Advantages of a Countertop Overlay
Existing Countertop Overlay Countertop overlays can be done on your existing tops. Of course it can only be done if the countertop is still in good shape structurally. Unless you want to change the size or shape, then consider an overlay instead of ripping out the tops and replacing with new.
So how do you get an overlay to stick to the countertop? You have to scar, scratch, grind the surface to get rid of the coatings and get down to the raw material. This will allow the primer for the overlay to penetrate the pores for a good bond.
All overlay systems for countertops will require a primer to be rolled on before applying the topping. Once that dries, the overlay goes down with a trowel. Then you can stain/color it and seal it.
Countertop overlays are one of the least expensive but most dramatic ways to spruce up a kitchen or a bathroom. The best part is each one can be unique and customized just for you.

Advantages of a Countertop Overlay
- The overlay method is significantly cheaper than solid concrete, especially when done on an existing countertop.
- It won't be nearly as heavy as solid concrete which can weigh 25lbs per sq ft. Overlaying an existing top adds only a few pounds. This methods eliminates any concerns of the cabinets not being able to support concrete.
- You can make the entire countertop seamless including the backsplash, which isn't possible with any of the other traditional countertop materials .
- It makes installation much easier and less messy, especially with the "cast in place" method.
